Is Mayor Bing Just Making It Up?

It Makes No Sense

Less than 5 months ago, Mayor Dave Bing argued that a 4.8% cut in the City of Detroit's budget, which was proposed by City Council President Pro Tem Gary Brown, was impossible and, most importantly, it was unnecessary. Today, however, Mayor Bing tells us that a 1.9% shortfall will cause the City to run out of cash and require an emergency financial manager.

Is it just me or does anyone else get the feeling that our esteemed Mayor is just making it up as he goes along?
